Game notes Setting the scene Although College GameDay didn’t make the trip to Denton, this matchup is as marquee as it gets in Week 9. Not only is there rich history involved as Navy’s 74-62 win in the 2007 meeting in Denton set the FBS single-game scoring record which stood until 2016. The teams converge […]
Tottenham Hotspur hosts Chelsea FC in a London derby that comes at a very quick turnaround for both sides. Both Chelsea and Spurs played last night in the League Cup’s fourth round, but with different results. The Blues raced out to a 3-0 lead at halftime at Wolves, and then successfully fended off a late, […]

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner was adamant after his side’s 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield that his team had not beaten a “weakened” opponent, insisting it would be disrespectful to the quality of players Arne Slot had fielded. The Austrian boss’s comments came after the Eagles booked their place in the League Cup Quarter […]

The 2015 draft was an all time great for the Astros as they nailed their first two picks in the first round, and found some good talent late. Here is a look back at the first 5 rounds of picks and some other notables. Round 1, Pick 2 – Alex Bregman, INF The Astros were awarded […]
The San Francisco 49ers started the trade deadline carousel early, swinging a deal with the New England Patriots for defensive lineman Keion White, swapping 2026 sixth and seventh-round picks in the process. The 49ers needed defensive linemen after the season-ending injury to Nick Bosa, and that need was only exacerbated with the recent injuries to […]
The second round of the DFB-Pokal was concluded last night. There were few major upsets, with Holstein Kiel’s 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg perhaps the most notable. However, the biggest story from the midweek fixtures took place in a tie between two 2. Bundesliga teams. Sixth-placed Darmstadt gave top-of-the-table Schalke an absolute shellacking on their way […]
Great win for the Celtics. It's funny to watch the Cavs fans being sure of a win at first and then trashing their whole team at the end and wanting Queta and Garza on their team. The Celtics big man rotation might not be as bad as everyone thinks. Once again so much complaining about the refs giving the Celtics the game when both teams shot 24 free throws. I also don't get the Doris Burke hate. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? I'm nervous about goin...
In looking at the next round of Premier League fixtures, it’s safe to say which one stands out as the pick of the lot- Chelsea FC at Tottenham Hotspur.

Now that we’re closer to the end of the AFL than the beginning, here’s some updates on a few standout prospects. Josh Adamczewski (No. 13) Adamczewski had one of the biggest […]
Over the weekend, the LSU Tigers opted to fire Brian Kelly after a 49-25 loss to Texas A&M dropped them to 5-3 on the season. The LSU opening is now considered one of the biggest head coach vacancies in college football, and many are speculating on the best candidates to fill the job. Given the […]
Women’s Hockey (10-0) The women’s hockey team has stayed unbeaten with a sweep over Lindenwood. In Game 1, Tessa Janecke and Nicole Hall each scored two goals to pace the offense to a 6-1 win. The defense allowed just 12 shots on goal in the game. In Game 2, Maddy Campbell recorded her second shutout […]
The Cleveland Browns are on the bye for Week 9. That might make this your opportunity to have a free Sunday and tune away from football altogether, but for others, you might still want to sit back, relax, and watch how real offenses look again. I just picked one map below, the CBS early slot, […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2o23 draft class has fared this season as they have returned from the bye: Tyree Wilson: The No. 7 overall draft pick has played 46 percent of the snaps this season after playing 50 percent last season and 43 as a rookie. He has 13 […]

The team also exercised the fourth-year rookie scale option on Bilal Coulibaly and Cam Whitmore. Washington has prioritized building through the draft throughout its rebuild. Now, six members of its […]
Restoring a program does not have to be complicated. An authentic culture off the field, a clear identity on the field, and a quarterback you can use as the foundation for all of it—those aren’t easy tasks, but they aren’t complicated. Brent Key had Georgia Tech moving back in the right direction roughly three minutes […]
Over the first quarter-century of the new millennium, we’ve seen quite a few dynasties emerge in European football. Bayern Munich has established a chokehold over German football, Juventus won an unprecedented nine straight Scudetto titles before subsiding at the start of the 2020s, whilst Manchester City has made history by winning four straight Premier League […]
It is Week 9, and the Cleveland Browns are on the bye after having lost to the Patriots last week. Most of the discussion nationally (and locally for that matter) is when the Browns will pull the trigger and go with Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback. Everyone can see clear as day that the […]
What are your Los Angeles Rams (5-2) versus the New Orleans Saints (1-7) final score predictions? I am picking the Rams in this one, and I want to keep my prediction grounded, but in theory, this game could (and maybe should?) get out of hand in favor of the Rams, but I’ll keep my prediction […]
The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0) are back in Columbus this week after a bye week last week to take on the reeling Penn State Nittany Lions (3-4, 0-4). A game that some people thought could be a top-three matchup, Penn State has had a disastrous season that has seen its head coach […]
So far, the reviews for the new Broadway production, The New York Rangers, are getting panned by critics. With a new director (Stanley Cup champion coach Mike Sullivan) and a disgruntled leading man (Artemi Panarin), when will this production finally find its rhythm? These dress rehearsals are getting a thumbs-down from Siskel and Ebert. Winless at…
In failure and in success, the Dodgers have gotten used to the burden of expectation, routinely taking on the role of Goliath, so to speak. Seldom has there been a moment in which you could realistically claim this team is outmatched, even in past eliminations. Now, as they go down 3-2 in the World Series […]
